Abstract An important factor having a negative impact on the technical condition of aircraft structure elements is the adverse effect of the atmosphere, which causes formation of corrosion in aircraft structures, especially in riveted lap joints. The electric potential difference between the sheet material and the rivet, in the presence of humid air, may cause electrochemical corrosion. The paper presents specimens that imitate the repair on the Mi-24 helicopter with the use of blind rivets in places where solid double-sided rivets could not be used. The aim of the research was to assess the corrosion resistance of lap joints with the use of single-sided and double-sided rivets. The analysis of corrosion resistance was carried out based on accelerated aging tests in a salt spray chamber. The salt chamber tests were aimed at determining the changes taking place in the specimens exposed to the marine environment. In the course of periodic observations changes in the mass of the specimens and in the form of corrosion losses were recorded. These activities were aimed at determining whether the exposure of specimens in the salt chamber causes electrochemical corrosion or pillowing. In addition, the specimens were subjected to static strength tests to assess the effect of corrosion on the strength properties of riveted joints.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the salt spray corrosion and electrochemical corrosion performances of H13 hot work mould steel, Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios are fabricated using a laser cladding (LC), which provides an experimental basis for the surface modification treatment of H13 steel. Design/methodology/approach Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios were firstly fabricated on H13 hot work mould steel using a laser cladding (LC). The salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical corrosion performances of Cr–Ni coatings in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution were investigated to analyze the corrosion mechanism, and the effect of mass ratios of Cr and Ni on their corrosion mechanism was discussed. Findings The laser cladded Cr–Ni coatings with the different Cr and Ni mass ratios are composed of Cr–Ni compounds, which are metallurgically combined with the substrate. The SSC resistance of Cr–Ni coating with the Cr and Ni mass ratios of 24:76 is the highest. The electrochemical corrosion resistance of Cr–Ni coating with the Cr and Ni mass ratio of 24:76 is the best among the three kinds of coatings. Originality/value In this study, the corrosion resistance of laser cladded Cr–Ni coatings with the Cr and Ni mass ratios of 17: 83, 20: 80 and 24: 76 was first evaluated using salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical tests, and the effect of mass ratios of Cr and Ni on their corrosion mechanism was discussed.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical corrosion performances of CrNi, TiAlN/NiCr and CrNi–Al2O3–TiO2 coatings on H13 steel, which improved the corrosion resistance of H13 hot work mold. Design/methodology/approach CrNi, TiAlN/NiCr and CrNi–Al2O3–TiO2 coatings were fabricated on H13 hot work mold steel using a laser cladding and cathodic arc ion plating. The SSC and electrochemical performances of obtained coatings were investigated using a corrosion test chamber and electrochemical workstation, respectively. The corrosion morphologies, microstructure and phases were analyzed using an electron scanning microscope, optical microscope and X-ray diffraction, respectively, and the mechanisms of corrosion resistance were also discussed. Findings The CrNi coating is penetrated by corrosion media, producing the oxide of Fe3O4 on the coating surface; and the TiAlN coating is corroded to enter into the CrNi coating, forming the oxides of TiO and NiO, the mechanism is pitting corrosion, whereas the CrNi–Al2O3–TiO2 coating is not penetrated, with no oxides, showing the highest SSC resistance among the three kinds of coatings. The corrosion potential of CrNi coating, TiAlN/CrNi and CrNi–Al2O3–TiO2 coatings was –0.444, –0.481 and –0.334 V, respectively, and the corresponding polarization resistances were 3,074, 2,425 and 86,648 cm2, respectively. The electrochemical corrosion resistance of CrNi–Al2O3–TiO2 coating is the highest, which is enhanced by the additions of Al2O3 and TiO2. Originality/value The CrNi, TiAlN/CrNi and CrNi–Al2O3–TiO2 coatings on H13 hot work mold were firstly evaluated by the SSC and electrochemical performances.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the salt spray corrosion (SSC) and electrochemical corrosion of obtained Zn–Al coating, which provided a basis for comprehensive analysis of corrosion behavior of Zn–Al coating. Design/methodology/approach A Zn–Al coating was fabricated on Q235A steel using a Dacromet method. The SSC and electrochemical corrosion performances in 3.5 Wt.% NaCl solution were investigated using an SSC chamber and electrochemical workstation, respectively, and the corrosion mechanism of Zn–Al coating was discussed.

In the SSC process, the corrosion product of Zn5(OH)8Cl2H2O enhances the corrosion resistance of Zn–Al coating, which provides sufficient cathodic protection for the substrate. The corrosion potential of Zn–Al coating is lower than that of substrate, which provides sufficient cathodic protection to the substrate, the Zn–Al coating in the immersion periods is protected by the corrosion product and Zn–Al sheets. Originality/value In this study, a Zn–Al coating was first fabricated on Q235A steel using a Dacromet method.

Spherical Tungsten Carbide

Nickel-based composite coatings reinforced by spherical tungsten carbide were deposited on 42CrMo alloy steel using plasma transfer arc welding (PTAW) process. Their electrochemical corrosion properties in NaCl solution under atmospheric and high pressure were studied by polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion and erosion resistance of the coatings were also investigated by salt spray corrosion and erosion corrosion tests. The results show that the self-corrosion potential of the composite coatings increased with the increase of tungsten carbide content, and the Cr element in Ni60 sample formed a stable and compact passivation film. Compared with corrosion at atmospheric pressure, the adsorption and penetration of Cl- on the coating surface enhanced due to the increase of Cl- activity under pressure, thereby to weaken the corrosion resistance. The Samples that passivated in salt spray environment, cannot completely hinder the corrosion of the coating, just only to slow down the corrosion. This study can provide theoretical basis for deep-sea oil drilling and production engineering equipment.

Anodic oxide films were prepared by anodic oxidation on the surface of ADC12 aluminum alloy and their corrosion properties were explored. The original samples, anodized samples, and sealed samples were placed in the salt spray corrosion chamber and were taken out at different times. Then the corrosion resistance of the ADC12 aluminum alloy was discussed, and the electrochemical corrosion test was researched. The results indicated that the surface of the original samples reveals many large-area pits after salt spray corrosion, while the sealed samples present a smoother surface. The dense oxide films on the surface of the base metals effectively prevent Cl[Formula: see text] entering into aluminum alloys especially after sealing. Electrochemical tests including the potential polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) as functions of exposure time were employed to reveal the corrosion behavior of surface layers. After the sealing treatment on the oxide films, the corrosion potential moved in the positive direction, the corrosion current density decreased, and the corrosion resistance of the ADC12 aluminum alloy was significantly improved.

Complete Study

Different strategies aimed at reducing the negative impact of fillers on paper strength have been the objective of many studies during the past few decades. Some new strategies have even been patented or commercialized, yet a complete study on the behavior of the filler flocs and their effect on retention, drainage, and formation has not been found in literature. This type of research on fillers is often limited by difficulties in simulating high levels of shear at laboratory scale similar to those at mill scale. To address this challenge, a combination of techniques was used to compare preflocculation (i.e., filler is flocculated before addition to the pulp) with coflocculation strategies (i.e., filler is mixed with a binder and flocculated before addition to the pulp). The effect on filler and fiber flocs size was studied in a pilot flow loop using focal beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) and image analysis. Flocs obtained with cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) and bentonite were shown to have similar shear resistance with both strategies, whereas cationic starch (CS) was clearly more advantageous when coflocculation strategy was used. The effect of flocculation strategy on drainage rate, STFI formation, ash retention, and standard strength properties was measured. Coflocculation of filler with CPAM plus bentonite or CS showed promising results and produced sheets with high strength but had a negative impact on wire dewatering, opening a door for further optimization.

This study modified graphene oxide (GO) with hydrophilic octadecylamine (ODA) via covalent bonding to improve its dispersion in silicone-modified epoxy resin (SMER) coatings. The structural and physical properties of ODA-GO were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angle tests. The ODA-GO composite materials were added to SMER coatings by physical mixing. FE-SEM, water absorption, and contact angle tests were used to evaluate the physical properties of the ODA-GO/SMER coatings, while salt spray, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning Kelvin probe (SKP) methods were used to test the anticorrosive performance of ODA-GO/SMER composite coatings on Q235 steel substrates. It was found that ODA was successfully grafted onto the surfaces of GO. The resulting ODA-GO material exhibited good hydrophobicity and dispersion in SMER coatings. The anticorrosive properties of the ODA-GO/SMER coatings were significantly improved due to the increased interfacial adhesion between the nanosheets and SMER, lengthening of the corrosive solution diffusion path, and increased cathodic peeling resistance. The 1 wt.% ODA-GO/SMER coating provided the best corrosion resistance than SMER coatings with other amounts of ODA-GO (including no addition). After immersion in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 28 days, the low-frequency end impedance value of the 1 wt.% ODA-GO/SMER coating remained high, at 6.2 × 108 Ω·cm2.

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations demand for an expedient discovery of a Cr(VI)-free alternative corrosion protection for light alloys even though the green alternatives might never be as cheap as current harmful technologies. In the present work, flash- plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings (FPEO) with the process duration < 90 s are developed on AZ31B alloy in varied mixtures of silicate-, phosphate-, aluminate-, and fluoride-based alkaline electrolytes implementing current density and voltage limits. The overall evaluation of the coatings’ anticorrosion performance (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), neutral salt spray test (NSST), paintability) shows that from nine optimized FPEO recipes, two (based on phosphate, fluoride, and aluminate or silicate mixtures) are found to be an adequate substitute for commercially used Cr(VI)-based conversion coating (CCC). The FPEO coatings with the best corrosion resistance consume a very low amount of energy (~1 kW h m−2 µm−1). It is also found that the lower the energy consumption of the FPEO process, the better the corrosion resistance of the resultant coating. The superb corrosion protection and a solid environmentally friendly outlook of PEO-based corrosion protection technology may facilitate the economic justification for industrial end-users of the current-consuming process as a replacement of the electroless CCC process.

The Impact

Eco-friendly composites are proposed to substitute commonly available polymers. Currently, wood–plastic composites and natural fiber-reinforced composites are gaining growing recognition in the industry, being mostly on the thermoplastic matrix. However, little data are available about the possibility of producing biocomposites on a silicone matrix. This study focused on assessing selected organic fillers’ impact (ground coffee waste (GCW), walnut shell (WS), brewers’ spent grains (BSG), pistachio shell (PS), and chestnut (CH)) on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of silicone-based materials. Density, hardness, rebound resilience, and static tensile strength of the obtained composites were tested, as well as the effect of accelerated aging under artificial seawater conditions. The results revealed changes in the material’s properties (minimal density changes, hardness variation, overall decreasing resilience, and decreased tensile strength properties). The aging test revealed certain bioactivities of the obtained composites. The degree of material degradation was assessed on the basis of the strength characteristics and visual observation. The investigation carried out indicated the impact of the filler’s type, chemical composition, and grain size on the obtained materials’ properties and shed light on the possibility of acquiring ecological silicone-based materials.
